BREAK UP TO MAKE UP

Married for four years, apart for nine months, Adele and Nick Hughes haven't yet told his family they've split. And Nick wants Adele to attend his mother's 65th birthday party -- in Scotland -- without mentioning it. She agrees, if he'll grant her a divorce afterward. A special effects designer, Nick hopes to reconcile with Adele on the trip, but she's still career-focused and isn't as susceptible to him as she once was. Or is she? Fiona Harper's Break Up to Make Up (3) has a straightforward plot and solid conflict, and the characters aren't without charm. But their reunion lacks credibility. Neither seems to have changed enough to allow it.
